The burden of proof

The burden of proof
Now the one thing I'm tired of hearing is this "You have no proof that god does not exist"

Ok firstly atheists are not responsible for dis-proving god. The burden of proof is on the one making the claim. Theists made the claim and so it's down to them to prove what there claiming.

We cannot dis-prove god but theist cannot prove god. it's a stand still, Until atheists dismiss the claim. Dismissing doesn't mean claiming or knowing there's no god, it's plain and simple dismissal. Rejecting the claim in other words.

There's a saying for it "If you claim without evidence it will be dismissed without evidence"

The burden of proof is on the one making the claim and should they fail to at lest bring some kind of evidence enough to at lest call it a theory then it will be dismissed. It's nothing more than a hypothesis, This is why it can be dismissed. If it was a theory then it cannot be dismissed because it would have evidence.

The christian beliefs have been dismissed/Rejected due to lack of evidence. So have the muslim religion and many other religions.

Also do not confuse dismissal with beliefs and claims. Dismissal doesn't mean that you know, your simply rejecting the claim.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
